WHEN SHOULD YOU TAKE A CALCIUM SUPPLEMEN
Hi
I want to take a calcium supplement and was wondering what is a good time to take it. In the morning with breakfast, etc. when is it best absorbed into the body.
Thanks

Hi Sue
It does not really matter but eating grains or salty foods soon after taking the calcium can impair calcium absorbtion.
